Let's Look Around
June witnessed the initial phases of the expanded
school building program. A new and modern Junior High
School was among the first of these institutions to
break ground in an effort to meet the growing needs of
this maturing village. A new elementary school and an
enlargement of three existing facilities were in the
constructions stage with the expectation that they
would be ready for use in Autumn.
A program to establish permanent boundaries for the
Hanford Works began as the Atomic Energy purchased
104,000 previously-leased acres in this vicinity.
This all lay within the current plutonium project
reservation.
From the community manager's office came welcome
news of an extensive city beautification program to
include the planting of several thousands of trees
throughout the Village. Stakes miraculously
appeared along our thorough fares to be replaced by
holes and finally by saplings which when viewed in
the future will cause many a local Richalnder to
proudly exclaim "Le Bois."
